Looking good Charlo.

 

Come along anyone else who isn't finished yet.

 

This is the final push!

[Jolemai]

Yup, it closes at 1600 UTC (1600 GMT, 1700 CET, 1100 EST, 0800 PST, 01/12/15 0000 AWST, 0200 AEST) today!

... that's the latest time I can close it today btw

[evildrcheese]

Are you going to give us a lost of those tittering on the brink of damnation?

We all teeter on the brink. Every day we fight the curse that lingers in our geneseed thanks to our Father's ultimate betrayal at the hands of the Arch Enemy. That said, this does not make us grow weak; for each passing day that we conquer it we grow stronger and it blesses us with a humility that we otherwise may not have. Pity not those who do fall and Treat them with honour, my Brothers. Not because they will bring us victory this day, but because their fate will one day be ours.

 

The front page is up to date to see who has yet to check in.

[Jolemai]

Thank you! The last part was a slog, I've been working on these termies on and off for about 6 months now. It's good to have some closure!

 

 

Thanks to Jolemai and the Blood Angels sub-forum for getting my painting and Warhammer 40K blood pumping again. This event was just what I needed to bust out of a 2+ month slump.

 

Glad I could help; this is/was the original purpose of the RTS so reviving it seemed to make sense at the time!

 

 

Looking good Boudan.

 

Is anyone else finding the format of this thread a bit weird in a mobile version?

 

EDC

Yep it's gone all blue and white. I smell an Ultra Marine conspiracy...

 

 

It's a formatting thing. Post #288 is borked and whilst the desktop version is able to cope, the mobile version is not. Page thirteen onward should be fine.

[Jolemai]

I, Jolemai, Reclusiarch of the Blood Angels sub-forum and first of his name, rise to the challenge of From Rage to Salvation and vow to complete two Tactical Squads and one Veteran with a Chapter Banner on or before November 30th, 2015. Should I bring honour to the Blood Angels Chapter I will proudly wear the IRATUS DOMINUS badge; should I fail I will display the CARCERES IRA on my chest as a reminder of my shame.

With the aim of the RTS being to get models in your collection off the painting table, my objective was to get these blue marines - who have been that way since I acquired them ~ seventeen years ago - ready for my group's Apocalypse game in August. For this, they need to be what we call "battle ready" which simply means that they have at least three base colours and are based.

With that in mind, I am able to announce my vow is complete:

These are painted to the same level that my ETL vows were, though the lack of wash and highlights does show up more on red marines than on gold and black ones... This will get done post-Apoc but is not a requirement for now so I am "satisfied" with the result. As for the Veteran's arm, well I was in a rush this morning

Erk, only 4 of 32 of The Lost have completed....uh oh.

[Charlo]

Yup, it closes at 1600 UTC (1600 GMT, 1700 CET, 1100 EST, 0800 PST, 01/12/15 0000 AWST, 0200 AEST) today!

You mean I can't work to the wire at midnight?!? Good thing I'm not at work today :O

[Jorre]

Ok so after getting back from a 2 day tournament I got home ignored my wife and finished my vow! lets just say I was not in the good books after!

But they are complete I will be repainting the meltaguns as they are old magnetised ones that I think should be replaced!! Also I am not sure I like the powerfist so I may repaint that!. Will post some better pictures when my wife isn't waiting outside to murder me!

Vow complete!!

[Jolemai]

Haha, send you wife our regards ;)

[Ming]

Vow completed - One Furioso and 10 Death Company...

His base isn't done, but it ain't drying before 3pm, so I'd have enough time to finish it anyway... But hey, he's still tabletop worthy if I plonk him on it :D

[Jolemai]

... So it appears that Astorath has been delayed by a warp storm. Whilst it means we'll miss our tee off time, it also means I'll be closing the event first thing tomorrow.

 

Make the most of it!

[Joyous_Oblivion]

 

I Joyous_Oblivion rise to the challenge of From Rage to Salvation and vow to complete

Well, I've failed. How long do I bear this mark of shame?

[Charlo]

Had some time with the deadline being extended so....

 

Did the base!

[Joyous_Oblivion]

That Deredeo looks awesome, such a cool kit!

[Charlo]

That Deredeo looks awesome, such a cool kit!

Thank ye! My successor colour seemingly lends itself well to Heresy era Dreads since they just look like big Marines :P

[Jolemai]

Seriously, the warp storms this time of year Anyway:

From Rage to Salvation 2015 is officially over!

Thank you all for participating and for making the revival of the RTS worthwhile! I'll be posting a recap of the event and officially confirming the rewards as soon as I can.

[Xenith]

Well, I've failed. How long do I bear this mark of shame?

 

Presumably until you die in battle, like all members of the Death Company, but realistically until you earn the Iratus Dominus

[Warsmith Aznable]

I suppose this means I'm obligated by honour to pledge for BA in the next ETL to get rid of this this badge of failure. Leave it to me to do this thing the opposite of how it's supposed to go...

[Jolemai]

Lemartes watched the small group of Space Marines as they bore their Captain on their shoulders towards the Imperial lines. The breach had fallen and the outer ring of fortifications and bunkers were now in Imperial hands. Tycho had held the breach long enough for the rest of the army to reach the walls and carry the day. With a tenderness that belied the gore-streaked appearance of the Blood Angels, they laid Brother Captain Erasmus Tycho at the feet of Chaplain Lemartes. He knelt by the bloody corpse, laying a hand on his brow and staring at his friend's face. Perhaps it was just the relaxation of muscle that followed death, but he believed he could see a softening in Tycho's features, as though the terrible disfigurement done to him had retreated within his flesh. He hoped so.
"Farewell brother," he whispered. "You will not be forgotten."

From Rage to Salvation - 2015

Awards Ceremony

On the blood-soaked threads of the BA sub-sector in the B&C galaxy, From Rage to Salvation - 2015 campaign comes to a close. As the Death Company charged, ready to pay the ultimate price in defense of our Imperial way of life whose songs sang loudest? Who carried the day to enable the Angelic Host to defeat the heretic, the xenos, the traitor? And who was brave enough to follow their lead?

The RTS exists as a method of encouragement for those stuck in a rut regards to painting. It gives you a goal and a reward to paint those half-finished units that haunt our collection and I'm happy to say many took up the challenge. The Angelic Host for this year's RTS consisted of 25 Frater and with 17 completions this makes a 68 % conversion rate - and this is before we factor in those of The Lost who returned to us. The first ever RTS (we arguably followed our second-best ETL showing) had a conversion rate of 47 % which shows that the spirit that was re-discovered during the ETL IV remains strong.

On the the rewards:

The Angelic Host

The following may proudly display the Iratus Dominus

• Auberon
• Boudan
• Charlo
• Dolchiate Remembrancer
• Evildrcheese
• J-smuv
• Jolemai
• Jorre
• Joyous_Oblivion
• mandaloriano
• Ming
• Our_baz
• Paikis
• Raeho
• SM1981
• Sviar
• Xenith

However, sadly, some have failed our Primarch and as such may display the Carceres Ira as a reminder of their failure
Remember, Pity not those who do fall and Treat them with honour, my Brothers. Not because they will bring us victory this day, but because their fate will one day be ours. Certainly, I have carried my shame/Carceres Ira longer than most and I will do until that vow is complete. However, it is up to you entirely but it's a pretty badge nonetheless.

The LOST

During the ETL IV many of our number fell to The Black Rage and were inducted into the Death Company. As is our way, the Death Company get one final chance at atonement, a chance to cast aside the Rage and grasp at their Salvation. Those who fell bore a ceremonial signature:

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee410/TheRedThirst/ETL_2015_Banner_BA_DC-OathBreaker2_zpsle9cc1ks.jpg

Their mission, tasked by the Reclusiam and approved by Commander Dante himself, was to complete their ETL vows during the RTS lifetime. Of those inducted into The Lost I am proud to say that some did in fact return to us with their salvation attained:

• Dolchiate Remembrancer
• Leonaides
• Nova_chron
• Paikis

It is these who may replace the above banner with the following:

Other than that, I thank you all for participating and for your patience with me and my running of the event. I hope you all enjoyed it and I'd love for some feedback via PM should you have the time.

[Charlo]

Big thanks to you, Jolemai for running the event :) was a great way to get me to build and paint all my dreads and template death Tac squad! Also very honoured to have the badges I made used for it too!

 

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us, Mr. Reclusiarch.

[evildrcheese]

Yeah Cheers Jolemai. That was a great event.

 

I'm taking a break from painting my BA as this event has inspired me to paint up some of my half finished SoB models.

 

I'll be on side for the BA when ETL 2016 rolls around though.
